Welcome to the fertility clinic! Here is where characters who lack magic can participate in procedures dedicated to temporarily boosting the character with magic! If the procedure is a success, infertile characters can imbue stones for a short period of time! You can find information about the clinic, batteries, and infertility here!

Almost every person in Above and Below is born with magic. While some races notoriously have less magic than others, normally everyone has some amount of magic stored within them. However, sometimes, a person is born lacking any magic, or loses their magic over time. If this is to happen, that person is unable to imbue a stone. Luckily, there are certain people who have an excess of magic and can assist them with producing children.
Causes on infertility include but are not limited to: Being born without any, which usually is caused by damage to the stone. Getting a disease that saps magic away completely. Inability to control their magic. Being cursed. Being a pure Doll.
If you wish to have your character officially infertile for IC reasons and would like them to follow the rules of this thread, you can post a form here.
Please keep in mind that infertility is permanent. It is entirely up to the customer whether or not to take this route and is not meant as a punishment! It is simply a feature to help those who wish to actually have a challenge in their characters imbuing process.
People who have an excess of magic are called batteries. It is a rare occurrence for someone to be born with more magic than is needed. Batteries are not stronger than other characters when it comes to magic, it simply means they have better endurance and extra magic to give away if need be. Some people may feel as if they're bursting if they do not use their magic time to time, others may not. It differs person to person.
Batteries have enough magic to safely give to someone who lacks it. While it takes training, a battery can be taught how to assist those who lack the magic they possess. Those wishing to assist the unfortunate simply need to apply to work at the clinic and can choose their hours as they wish. They will be given extensive classes on how to safely transfer magic, and eventually given a certificate to assist those in need.
If you wish to see if your character can become a battery, go here.
Magic transfer is the term for when a battery gives someone infertile magic. This can be done in multiple ways. Some prefer to touch the person they need to transfer magic to, some like a bit of distance, others can imbue an item as both the infertile client and battery hold it. It depends on personal preferences. In all cases, a battery must focus on the client and imagine magic rushing through their fingers and into another living being. It requires a great amount of concentration, and sometimes a person may find chanting helps speed the process. The feeling of transferring magic away from a battery is often described as cold and tingly. Those infertile receiving the magic often describe the feeling as warm and dizzying.
After the process, the battery will feel drained and need a 24 hour break.

Throughout the major cities you can find multiple clinics. They are typically well-funded and kept rather clean. Batteries may only practice magic transfer within an official clinic. Fertility clinics only assist in transferring magic, and are not meant to cure any other diseases or emergencies.
When someone infertile wishes to imbue, they must first call and make an appointment. The appointment determines how much magic they'd need to temporarily be able to imbue. Once determined, a battery will be called upon to, on a determined date, transfer excess magic. If the process is successful, then the client may imbue up to the normal maximum of stones they would normally be able to imbue if they had magic.
However, it's not an easy task. Sometimes, magic doesn't take and multiple sessions will need to be scheduled. Clinics will not give up on a client as long as the client remains interested.
After you have requested a cert is updated with the infertile symbol (star on the background of the cert!) you must return to this thread. Using the form below, you must RNG a 100 sided die. If you get any number with a 5, 1, 9, or 0 in it then your character was successful. However, this is not all you must done. Once you get a winning number, you must find someone who owns a battery (you can see this by finding someone with two crescents on the background of their cert) and RP, briefly, an interaction where the battery transfers magic at the clinic. Once this is done, please used the correct form found below to indicate you have passed! You do not need to roll/RP for them again until they have successfully won a breeding and received the stones. To breed them a second time, you will need to start the process over again.
If you fail, you may roll again in 24 hours. This is to prevent clogging up the thread or a surplus of activity that is hard to log.
When posting your RP, both the battery and the infertile character must be in the RP. It must have at least 150 words in it.
These are the batteries you can ask to RP with when you need to fill a requirement!
